I Have No Control

drew some more art of my take of Grace on Erid!

full image under cut :D

He's a middle school teacher.

And you're just like....are they all fucking with me?

Eva Stratt doesn't go to jail for the things she did during the creation of the Hail Mary. She doesn't go to jail because she forced Ryland Grace aboard the ship against his will. No, she can't. She has diplomatic immunity concerning anything to do with the project.

What she goes to jail for, is releasing Ryland Grace's full video logs to the public after the World Government Leaders decide to try to edit and bury them.

She lets them put handcuffs on her, lets them carry her off to spend the rest of her life behind bars because she refuses to let the memory of Ryland Grace, the man who saved Earth (and Erid) be tainted. She's a historian, and this is her way of making sure the man she betrayed gets his story put into record properly.

No I don’t think you heard me

GRACE REMEMBERED. THE REASON HE WAS ON PHM IN THE FIRST PLACE. AFTER HE WILLINGLY ASKED TO SEE ROCKY’S SHIP. AND WAS WELCOMED INTO THE COOLEST THING HE’D EVER SEEN ATP. They put that memory and Rocky’s ship next to each other to contrast. They contrasted one of the worst moments of his life with (arguably, at least at that point, pre-Erid) the coolest. They put together the scene where Grace had No Reason and Every Reason.

I think it represents Rocky's crew with those 23 shapes. The 3 big ones might have been the leaders/pilots of the mission, while the 3 trios could be the specialists (scientists, mechanics, doctors...) and the others the general crew.

By the way Rocky points at the panel and Grace's face changes I think Rocky was talking about them and how they decided who went to space.

It's not easy to see, but to me the wall resembles the wall in the Mary with the golden plaques with pictograms of Earth, science and the mission; which at the time helped Grace remember about the project, so this one could help him remember why was him specifically in space.
